User Library

Conrado Dominguez — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:25:16 GMT

I have a new folder to collect .FBX objectsl imported using Modelport.
I can place an open all the objects provided they remain the Embeded File of the .pln in pregress

I exported those files to a "MODELPOrT Lib" folder and the Library Manager refuses to ADD this folder as an additional Library.
I have another User Library Folder but I have been unable to add the new one; and yes, I know the steps to ADD and Reload and nothing works. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Using AC 23 on windows and greatfull to all of you in this Forum because Customer support really is despicable.

This should not make a difference, but maybe try add an EMPTY folder to your Library, add the exported gsm objects, then reload it?

Ling,
your suggestion inspire me to start a new >pln with only the AC23 Library, then load the new Folder with the selected objects and it worked as as expected.
For some reason I cannot explain, the problem was a conflict having the same "objects.gsm" in the embeded library while trying to ADD my new user Library with the same "objects.gsm
Should have not made a difference but it did and now I am all set..
Thanks

I wouldn't have thought that would make a difference either.
I would expect it to still add the folder, but you would just get a warning about duplicate objects when you re-load.
So in the end you would want to delete the objects from the embedded library anyway.
Glad that worked for you.
